Machine learning and learning theory research
The workshop on the Meaningful Use of Complex Medical Data is happening again, August 9-12 in LA, near UAI on Catalina Island August 15-17. I enjoyed my visit last year, and expect this year to be interesting also.
The first Bay Area Machine Learning Symposium is August 30 at Google. Abstracts are due July 30.
Yaser points out some nicely videotaped machine learning lectures at Caltech. Yaser taught me machine learning, and I always found the lectures clear and interesting, so I expect many people can benefit from watching. Relative to Andrew Ng‘s ML class there are somewhat different areas of emphasis but the topic is the same, so picking and choosing the union may be helpful.
